Just this moment I was going through my "Slipping Through" sketchbook and I realized how jumbled and out of order the pages are. I suppose this is because I tend to sketch things out as I think of them, regardless of when they take place in the story.
For example, when I rebooted this comic I started off with Maggie standing in a nightclub looking deeply annoyed. How did she get there? I wondered, Why is her hair a mess? And why is she wearing a cape? Then I realized she must have just come off work, that is, she had just had a throw down with some villain. So then I had to go and draw that bit and change that to the beginning.
Later on, in stuff you haven't seen yet, I got frustrated drawing Maggie's apartment so I skipped to drawing stuff with her at work. Now I've had to go back and fill in the gaps.
It just struck me because I've started coloring some pages that are next chronologically, but I drew them months ago. It's getting quite confusing. Especially since in some of the older pages I went back and reworked some of the panels. So in some pages there are bits that I know are ages old, but there's some stuff which I only thought of recently so it's got to be new.
Well, back to work.
